Intended Use
The Glidesheath Slender is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the radial artery.
Device Description
The Glidesheath Slender consists of an introducer sheath and a dilator which are packaged together with an entry needle and mini guide wire. The Glidesheath Slender is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the radial artery. The sheath and dilator contain bismuth. making these devices visible under fluoroscopy. The sheath is coated with hydrophilic coating to minimize frictional resistance when inserting or removing the sheath from the patient's blood vessel. The entry needle (cannula) is used to gain access to the radial artery for placement of the mini guide wire. The entry needle is offered in two versions, either a stainless steel needle or a Surflo IV catheter (K891087). The mini guide wire is used for placement of the sheath and dilator into the radial artery. The mini guide wire is offered in two versions, either a stainless steel (spring coil) model or a polyurethane (nitinol core) plastic model. A guide wire inserter is also provided to assist in insertion of the mini guide wire into the cannula.
More Information

No
The device description and performance testing focus solely on the physical components and mechanical properties of the sheath, dilator, needle, and guide wire. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is used to facilitate the placement of a catheter, not to directly treat a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is an introducer sheath and dilator used to facilitate placing a catheter into the radial artery for therapeutic or interventional procedures, not for diagnosis. While it is visible under fluoroscopy, this is for guidance during placement, not for diagnostic imaging.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as an introducer sheath, dilator, entry needle, mini guide wire, and guide wire inserter, and the performance studies focus on the physical properties and performance of these hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Glidesheath Slender is a device used to facilitate the physical placement of a catheter into a blood vessel (the radial artery). It is a tool used during a medical procedure, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "facilitating placing a catheter through the skin into the radial artery." This is a procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and their role in the insertion process. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties and functionality of the device components (strength, flexibility, leakage, etc.), not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Glidesheath Slender is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

I. Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility of Glidesheath Slender was evaluated based on ISO10993-1 : 2009. The Glidesheath Slender including Sheath, Dilator, Guidewire, and Entry needle are classified as Externally Communicating Devices, Circulating Blood, Limited Contact ( Bacterial Endotoxins Test. Validation was performed in accordance with FDA published "Guideline on

Potential release of TiO2 particles from the Glidesheath Slender was evaluated using both nonpolar and polar extracts in accordance with ISO10993-12. Results demonstrated that potential release of titanium dioxide per product was much lower than the tolerable intake calculated from the No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) and therefore, does not raise a safety concern.

L. Substantial Equivalence

The Glidesheath Slender is substantially equivalent in intended use, principles of operation, design/technology, materials and performance to the predicate device the Glidesheath (K082644). Differences between the devices do not raise any new concerns of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Daniel Plonski,

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical

7

device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
